Except me, who leaves the STTY settings the way they have been since I started UNIX hacking in about '83. Which is, DEL (0xff) is the interrupt character, and BS (0x08) backspaces. You'd leave me with two ways to backspace, but I'd have to pick some other MS-DOS abomination like CNTL-C (0x03) to be able to interrupt running jobs. -crl -- Chad R.
